Share house Q&A

I would like to lower the amount of initial fees.
Is there a good way to do this?

A.At Oakhouse, the initial fees are the "contract fee" (handling fee) and the 1st month of rent (if moving in by the 20th of the month, the 1st month rent calculated daily; after the 21st is daily calculated rent for the 1st month plus 1 month of the following rent).

However, depending on the house and time, we have special campaigns that offer great deals on initial fees or monthly rent!
Ex: "contract fee free", "discount for X months", etc.
For campaign information, either check out our website (http://www.oakhouse.jp/) or contact the Information Center (info@oakhouse.jp).

Also, we have what is called the Smart Membership program, where by making a deposit you can get a discount on monthly rent. (http://www.oakhouse.jp/smart).
For Smart Membership, there are no discounts on contract fees, but depending on the size of the deposit your monthly discount changes. For example, you could get up to 20,000 yen off your monthly rent (or 40,000 at SR Haijima only)!
